We had a field trip to the Minneapolis Art Institute this week! It is so wonderful for the students to see and experience real pieces of art and use their observation skills in a new way. In science, we are studying bird beaks. Students were in the science lab doing a 'bird beak buffet' lesson were they get to investigate the various uses of the different bird beaks. It is a wonderful hands-on lesson that they enjoy. We also had a fabulous video conference with the MN Zoo about animal adaptations, with a primary focus on bird adaptations.
